What Site Promotion I Have Done

Well back to posting about my journey. On Friday, November 17, 2006 I talked about what I was doing for site promotion of Bob's Info World. Well to recap I found this free software Web Ceo (the link is in that post) to help me do the seo thing. It has a feature that can tell you about weak areas in your site. So after using this software to find weak spots, I decided to try some of the things I have been reading about to get my site promoted. And maybe make a little money from the AdSense and affiliate products I put on the site.

Now if you go by Google's page-rank system (if you use Google's toolbar) even on this blog, I have a zero. You would thing that I would promote this blog first and trickle it down to my other site. But I wanted to see if I could start making an income from that site.

So first I started listing my site with open directories. (A few directory links are listed in the link area on the rights side and a great resource in Sunday, November 19, 2006 post.) Well after listing my site at about 300 directories, not much happened. Either I was rejected or who knows what happened, because I have only received a handful of links back to my site. I check my link popularity using a site call www.mj99.com/tools/. There are a lot of sites that have link popularity checker.

So next I tried my hand at writing an article and posting it at free article directories. Well this is a time consuming project and the rules that each site has, well lets say more time please!

So if you are going to write an article for the purpose of site promotion, then these general rule may help. Make your article about 500 words long, because most site want between 350 and 1000 words. The average line length is 65 characters, but some site are longer. And its best to write your article using notepad.

Remember most sites do not allow links in the body of the article. So to promote your site you have to put the links in the author area. And the amount of link run from one to three. Then there is the question if they let you use html or strip it out. This is the difference between a text link or just www.yoursite.com.

So create a page with a few different author bio's, some with two links and some with three links plus a few using www.yoursite.com to save you time. It's then just a matter of cut and paste.

More on this later.
Good Luck
